Grof's Dimensions of the Psyche
Notes
Grof recommends exploring this realm via Holotropic States (i.e., Connection). He also notes that Verbal Psychotherapy is completely ineffective as a method for approaching and resolving damaging traumas[2] the Physical Unit might have experienced while existing with the toxic Regime of Accumulation
Grof notes that reliving the traumas and finding full emotional release is an essential precursor to healing and integration. [3]
Grof identifies standard emotional and psychological traumas, as well as physical traumas (operations, accidents, children's disease) as key areas for expression and resolution.[4]
Groff notes that "emotionally relevant memories are not stored in the unconscious as a mosaic of isolated imprints, but in the form of complex dynamic constellations...called COEX Systems.”[5]
